본 실험은 쇠고기의 비 선호부위를 고도로 이용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 쇠고기의 염통과 지라를 각종효소로 가수분해하여 얻은 분획물을 한외여과와 gel-filtration, 그리고 HPLC를 이용하여 분리 및 정제하여 얻은 펩타이드의 ACE 저해 활성을 검토한 실험이다. 쇠고기 염통과 지라에서 수용성 단백질을 추출한 다음 효소 처리하여 4, 8, 12, 24시간 동안 37$^{\circ}C$에서 배양하였다. 염통과 지라단백질의 가수분해물의 ACE 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 염통에서는 Thermolysin과 Proteinase A 효소를 12시간 혼합처리한 가수분해물에서 가장 좋은 ACE 저해 효과를 보여주었고 지라에서는 Thermolysin과 Protease 효소를 24시간 혼합처리한 가수분해물에서 ACE 저해 효과가 가장좋았다. ACE 저해효소가 가장 좋은 가수분해물을 Ultrafiltration 통해 분리하였으며, 분리 정제된 가수분해물을 Gel-filtration을 통해서 분획 하였다. 이때 염통에서는 F11, F36, F51, F63, F72의 큰 분획물을 얻었고 지라에서는 F30, F55, F71, F91에서 큰 분획물을 얻었다. 이 분획물들의 ACE 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 염통에서는 F72에서 $IC_{50}$값 0.37mg/ml로 ACE 저해 활성이 가장 좋았다. 지라에서는 F30에서 $IC_{50}$값 1.840 mg/ml로 ACE 저해 활성이 가장 좋았다. 그리고 여기서 활성이 좋은 염통을 가지고 Reversed- Phase HPLC를 이용하여 분리 한 결과 4개의 큰 피크들을 얻을 수 있었다. 그 결과 peak 1, peak 2, peak 3, peak 4의 IC50값은 각각 0.28mg/ml, 0.26mg/ml, 0.25mg/ml, 0.35mg/ml이었다. 이 peak들의 아미노산을 분석한 결과, peak 1에서는 glycine과 methionine, peak 2는 proline, cystine, methionine, peak 3는 proline, peak 4는 alanine, methionine, leucine 이 주요 구성 성분 아미노산이었다. 위 실험 결과로서, 염통과 지라에서의 ACE저해 활성은 염통이 지라보다 좋았고, 특히 Thermolysin과 Proteinase A 효소를 12시간 배양한 염통단백질 가수분해물에서 가장 좋은 ACE 저해 활성 peptide을 얻을 수 있었다.

Raw starch-digesting amylase (BF-2A, M.W. 93, 000 Da) from Bacillus circulans F-2 was converted to two components during digestion with subtilisin. Two components were separated and designated as BF-2A' (63, 000 Da) and BF-2B (30, 000 Da), respectively. BF-2A' exhibited the same hydrolysis curve for soluble starch as the original amylase (BF-2A). Moreover, the catalytic activities of original and modified enzymes were indistinguishable in $K_{m}$, Vmax for, and in their specific activity for soluble starch hydrolysis. However, its adsorbability and digestibility on raw starch was greatly decreased. Furthermore, the enzymatic action pattern on soluble starch was greatly different from that of the BF-2A. A smaller peptide (BF-2B) showed adsorb ability onto raw starch. By these results, it is suggested that the larger peptide (BF-2A') has a region responsible for the expression of the enzyme activity to hydrolyze soluble substrate, and the smaller peptide (BF-2B) plays a role on raw starch adsorption. A similar phenomenon is observed during limited proteinase K, thermolysin, and endopeptidase Glu-C proteolysis of the enzyme. Fragments resulting from proteolysis were characterized by immunoblotting with anti-RSDA. The proteolytic patterns resulting from proteinase K and subtilisin were the same, producing 63- and 30-kDa fragments. Similar patterns were obtained with endopeptidase Glu-C or thermolysin. All proteolytic digests contained a common, major 63-kDa fragment. Inactivation of RSDA activity results from splitting off the C-terminal domain. Hence, it seems probable that the protease sensitive locus is in a hinge region susceptible to cleavage. Extracellular enzymes immunoreactive toward anti-RSDA were detected through whole bacterial cultivation. Proteins of sizes 93-, 75-, 63-, 55-, 38-, and 31-kDa were immunologically identical to RSDA. Of these, the 75-kDa and 63-kDa proteins correspond to the major products of proteolysis with Glu-C and thermolysin. These results postulated that enzyme heterogeneity of the raw starch-hydrolysis system might arise from the endogeneous proteolytic activity of the bacterium. Truncated forms of rsda, in which the gene sequence encoding the conserved domain had been deleted, directed the synthesis of a functional amylase that did not bind to raw starch. This indicates that the conserved region of RSDA constitutes a raw starch-binding domain, which is distinct from the active centre. The possible role of this substrate-binding region is discussed.d.

순환기계 질병의 원인이 되는 동시에 뇌출혈, 심장병 및 신장병 등과 합병증으로 나타날 경우 치사율이 매우 높은 만성 퇴행성 질환인 고혈압의 90％ 이상을 차지하는 본태성 고혈압은 정상적인 혈압을 유지하는 기구들이 천천히 붕괴되어 진행되는 질병이다(Frohlich, 1982). 이러한 본태성 고혈압의 원인 중에서 reninㆍangiotensin계가 혈압조절에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려지고 있다(Saxena, 1992). 즉, angiotensinogen이 renin의 분해를 받아서 angiotensin I을 생성하는데, 이는 angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE)에 의하여 COOH 말단의 dipeptide가 절단되어 강력한 혈관수축작용을 하는 angiotensin II를 생성한다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of nitric oxide on the neuronal activity of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells. Sprague-Dawley rats aged 14 to 16 days were decapitated under ether anesthesia. After treatment with pronase and thermolysin, the dissociated Purkinje cells were transferred into a chamber on an inverted microscope. Spontaneous action potentials and potassium current were recorded by standard patch-clamp techniques under current and voltage-clamp modes respectively. 15 Purkinje cells revealed excitatory responses to $20\;{\mu}M$ of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and 4 neurons (20%) did not respond to SNP. Whole potassium currents of Purkinje cells were decreased by SNP (n=10). Whole potassium currents of Purkinje cells were also decreased by L-arginine, substrate of nitric oxide (n=10). These experimental results suggest that nitric oxide increases the neuronal activity of Purkinje cells by altering the resting membrane potential and after hyperpolarization.

The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) generates the powerful vasoconstrictor angiotensin II by removing the C-terminal dipeptide from the precursor decapeptide angiotensin I (1). The enzyme also inactivates the vasodilator bradykinin (2). There have been many studies on ACE inhibitory substances as functional in food, and ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated (3-5).

ACE inhibition activity of peptides was measured after 2 months of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ under condition of pH 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0. and the ACE inhibitory activity were changed only slightly. After 2 months of chilled storage ($4^{\circ}C$), no dramatic change and significance was found. This indicates that acidic, neutral, weak alkali conditions did not affect ACE inhibitory activity of those peptides. Among peptide 1134, 1152, and 1155, peptides from thermolysin + protease A hydrolysates, inhibition activity of peptide 1134 and 1152 was decreased significantly at $60^{\circ}C$, however, they showed stable inhibition activity from $70^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ (P<0.001). Also, chromatogram of peptide 1134, 1152, and 1155 was shown that retention time of peptide of $60^{\circ}C$ was not correspond to the retention time of the rest of peptides. This indicated that temperature may change the inhibitory activity and profile of peptides.

When mating type A and a cells of heterobasidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides were mix-cultured, both of the mating type cells have shown strong agglutination. But this agglutination was not detactable when the A and a cell were cultured separately. From reagglutination made just after the result of disassembling the agglutination by sonication, we knew that the agglutination was sexual-agglutination, not simple physical cell agglutination. The sexual agglutination was progressed actively on logarithmic phase and, in addition, progressed faster on mating type a cell treated with rhodotorucine A. These sexual agglutination have been inhibited by several protease such as trypsin, pronase, chymotrpysin and thermolysin and inhibited by 5 mM DTT as well.

하늘타리박의 뿌리인 괄루근에서 분리 정제한 trypsin inhibitor는 TRTI-1과 TRTI-2 두 종류였으며 gel-filtration과 SDS-PAGE 전기영동에서 얻은 결과로부터 TRTI-1은 $4,000{\sim}5,000\;Da$의 분자량을 가진 monomer이며 TRTI-2는 $20,000{\sim}24,000\;Da$의 분자량을 가친 homodimer임을 알 수 있었다. 온도의 안정성에 있어서는 TRTI-1은 $100^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 이상 안정하였으며, TRTI-2는 $0{\sim}70^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 안정하였으나 $80^{\circ}C$에서부터는 안정성이 떨어지면서 $100^{\circ}C$에서는 저해능이 완전히 소실되었다. Trypsin 활성에 대해서 TRTI-1, TRTI-2 및 상품화된 soybean BBI의 농도에 따른 저해능을 보면 TRTI-1, TRTI-2 및 soybean BBI의 각각의 농도가 $0.8{\mu}M,\;6{\mu}M,\;4{\mu}M$일 때 1mg/ml의 trypsin을 50% 저해하였으며, trypsin의 반응속도에 대한 TRTI의 저해 실험에서 TRTI-1와 TRTI-2 모두 trypsin의 가수분해를 경쟁적으로 저해하였으며 $K_{m}$값은 저해제가 없는 경우 $0.37\;{\mu}M$에 대해 각각 0.97, $0.63\;{\mu}M$이었다. 여러 protease에 대한 TRTI-1과 TRTI-2의 저해능 실험 결과 elastase, pepsin, Nagarase, papain, thermolysin, chymotrypsin, thrombin 및 collagenase 등은 저해하지 못하였고 trypsin만을 특이하게 저해하였다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of high concentration of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) on the neuronal activity of rat substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons. Sprague-Dawley rats aged 14 to 16 days were decapitated under ether anesthesia. After treatment with pronase and thermolysin, the dissociated dopaminergic neurons were transferred into a chamber on an inverted microscope. Spontaneous action potentials and potassium currents were recorded by standard patch-clamp techniques under current and voltage-clamp modes respectively. 18 dopaminergic neurons(80%) revealed inhibitory responses to 40 and 100 ${\mu}M$ of EGCG and 4 neurons(20%) did not respond to EGCG. The spike frequency and resting membrane potential of these cells were decreased by EGCG. The amplitude of afterhyperpolarization was increased by EGCG. Whole potassium currents of dopaminergic neurons were increased by EGCG(n=10). These experimental results suggest that high concentration EGCG decreases the neuronal activity of the dopaminergic neurons by altering the resting membrane potential and afterhyperpolarization.

Recent studies have implicated reactive oxygen species (ROS) as determinants of the pathological pain caused by the activation of peripheral neurons. It has not been elucidated, however, how ROS activate the primary sensory neurons in the pain pathway. In this study, calcium imaging was performed to investigate the effects of NaOCl, a ROS donor, on the intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]i$) in acutely dissociated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. DRG was sequentially treated with 0.2 mg/ml of both protease and thermolysin, and single neurons were then obtained by mechanical dissociation. The administration of NaOCl then caused a reversible increase in the $[Ca^{2+}]i$, which was inhibited by pretreatment with phenyl-N-tertbuthylnitrone (PBN) and isoascorbate, both ROS scavengers. The NaOCl-induced $[Ca^{2+}]i$ increase was suppressed both in a calcium free solution and after depletion of the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ pool by thapsigargin. Additionally, this increase was predominantly blocked by pretreatment with the transient receptor potential (TRP) antagonists, ruthenium red ($50\;{\mu}M$) and capsazepine ($10\;{\mu}M$). Collectively, these results suggest that an increase in the intracellular calcium concentration is produced from both extracellular fluid and the intracellular calcium store, and that TRP might be involved in the sensation of pain induced by ROS.
